Final Answer Friday --- The Three Eyes

OK...we had a winner that got all 3 correct. However, I noticed that if you click on a set of eyes, the file name (the initials of the person) appear up in the address bar. So I am only giving Financial Teacher 1/2 point pending further investigation (either that or I can give him 2 points for finding the secret)! Next week, I will be more careful when posting the 3 sets of women eyes! But congrats to those of you who legitimately figured out the answers!


1) =
Senator John Kerry



2) =
Super-Olympian Michael Phelps




3) =
TV Star Regis Philbin

I would like to note for the record that I spent over two hours trying to figure out #2. #'s 1 and 3 were fairly easy, but I still downloaded pictures of them and cropped the pictures to compare to the eyes given in the test.

I originally thought that #2 was Jeb Bush, but after close examination/cropping of several pictures of Jeb, I moved on.

I also considered using Riya, a visual search engine, but I decided that would be too easy. (http://www.riya.com/about).

#2 looked older, but then when I factored in what drug use and prolonged exposer to the water does to the skin, I then started considering younger possiblities. Another clue is that Michael Phelps does not keep his eye brows trimmed very well.

Also, I know Mike well enough that he would naturally include someone with the same name as his.

So Mike, you can add this to putt putt pool, which is a game where you play pool with golf balls and use a putter to hit the balls into the holes. I bought this game for Mike when we lived at Bear Run and I defeated Mike every time we played.

So if I won in putt putt pool then the only conclusion would be that I cheated then as well.

And by the way, after wasting so much time on this, I did notice that if I tried to save one of the pictures the file name was three letters. So then it threw me off for a while trying to think who has the intials MPE. Later when I saw that all three of the filenames included an 'E,' I concluded that the 'E' stood for "eyes." Then the initials helped me finalize my selection for #2.

Now I have spent too much time typing this. I guess that is why I changed my legal last name to ADDkins.

I didn't believe Michael Phelps for #2 b/c of the wrinkles but see I was wrong! ~ It was fun. I think Steve gets 2 points for all the wasted time he put into it! oh my. :) - I didn't notice the initials though either.

Well, don't feel bad, Dad. I wouldn't have guessed any right if I hadn't seen the guesses from everyone else.
